Selecting and Highlighting Multiple Rows in a DataGrid

I am looking for an example that shows how to select and highlight
multiple rows in a DataGrid.

My DataGrid is part of a Web User Control which is contained in an ASPX
page.

I haven't been able to find any examples which demonstrate how to do
this.

My Code:

The ASPX Page

<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="Web Form1.aspx.cs"
AutoEventWireup ="false" Inherits="TestM ultiSelect.WebF orm1" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="WebUse rControl1"
Src="WebUserCon trol1.ascx" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>WebForm1 </title>
<meta name="GENERATOR " Content="Micros oft Visual
Studio .NET 7.1">
<meta name="CODE_LANG UAGE" Content="C#">
<meta name="vs_defaul tClientScript"
content="JavaSc ript">
<meta name="vs_target Schema"
content="http://schemas.microso ft.com/intellisense/ie5">
</HEAD>
<body MS_POSITIONING= "GridLayout ">
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<uc1:WebUserCon trol1 id="WebUserCont rol11"
runat="server"> </uc1:WebUserCont rol1>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>

}

namespace TestMultiSelect

{

DataGrid1;

CloseButton;
SqlConnection myConnection;

private void Page_Load(objec t sender,
System.EventArg s e)
{
myConnection = new SqlConnection
("Server=localh ost;uid=sa;pwd= preview;databas e=pubs");

if(!IsPostBack)
BindGrid();
}

public void BindGrid()
{
SqlDataAdapter dAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter
("SELECT au_id,
au_fname, au_lname FROM authors ",
myConnection);
DataSet dSet= new DataSet();
dAdapter.Fill(d Set, "authors");

DataGrid1.DataS ource = dSet.Tables
["authors"].DefaultView;
DataGrid1.DataB ind();

}

#region Web Form Designer generated code
override protected void OnInit(EventArg s e)
{
//
// CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET
// Web Form
// Designer.
InitializeCompo nent();
base.OnInit(e);
}

/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not
/// modify
/// the contents of this method with the code
/// editor.
/// </summary>
private void InitializeCompo nent()
{
this.Load += new System.EventHan dler
(this.Page_Load );

}
#endregion
}
}
I want to select the au_fname and au_lname fields (which I am going to
concatenate). The Web User Control has a Button which, when clicked,
should pass the selections to the calling page (a simple HTML page).
Clicking the button should also close the .ASPX page, and refresh the
calling page.

Is what I am trying to do reasonable, or is there a better approach? I
am a bit out of my depth here, and would really appreciate any kind of
help, especially code snippets.

Thanks!

Hi all, Apologies if this is the wrong group. I have done a search on google but my keywords are probably no good. What I want to do is to display a list of data in a datagrid (which I have already done). At the side of the list, I want to put in a checkbox, basically to select that line.
